Best and Harman stop a runaway vehicle which is being driven by a teenage joyrider. When the vehicle is traced to the boy's mother, they arrive to find her badly beaten and in the comfort of one of her neighbours. When she accuses her husband of rape and assault, De Costa is certain that an answer phone cassette, which was placed to record during the attack, will prove the husband's innocence or guilt. But when Bradford loses the tape, De Costa decides it's the last straw and has her hastily transferred back to uniform. Whilst investigate a number of graffiti attacks on a Jewish graveyard, Thatcher finds a link between the time of the disturbance and De Costa's investigation. Bradford, angered at her transfer to uniform and Kane & Harman's close relationship makes her snap, and she torches Kane's home.
